About me:

I have a dog named Bugsy, and he is a poodle. I am a strong believer of Jesus Christ. He is my Lord and Savior. I do have a facebook page, but my brother "stole" the internet, so I can't go on it anymore. Do you want to know what a Shniff is? It's a monkey with a gun. I don't know.
Anyway, I don't have a favorite color but I do like sea food. And I hate any type of science class. I mean, who goes walking around outside telling people what a petiole is or whether it has opposite or alternative leaves. Do you have any friends like that? No, I didn't think so. Do you know why a tree has so many leaves? Because they all want you to LEAVE them alone. If you didn't get this joke, then you need some pills.

Elm Tree:

Ulmus Campestris is the scientific name of the Elm tree.
They originated from Asia.
Many species of Lepidopteran larvae (butterflies and moths) use elm as a food plant
Dutch elm disease (DED) devastated elms throughout Europe and North America in the second half of the 20th century. It is caused by a micro-fungus transmitted by two species of Scolytus elm-bark beetle which act as vectors.

Nylon:

1. Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers known generically as polyamides, first produced on February 28, 1935 by Wallace Carothers at DuPont’s research facility at the DuPont Experimental Station. Nylon is one the most commonly used polymers.
Nylon is a thermoplastic silky material, first used commercially in a nylon-bristled toothbrush (1938), followed more famously by women’s stockings (1940).
2. It is made of repeating units linked by amide bonds and is frequently referred to as polyamide (PA). Nylon was the first commercially successful synthetic polymer. There are two common methods of making nylon for fiber applications. In one approach, molecules with an acid (COOH) group on each end are reacted with molecules containing amine (NH2) groups on each end. The resulting nylon is named on the basis of the number of carbon atoms separating the two acid groups and the two amines. These are formed into monomers of intermediate molecular weight, which are then reacted to form long polymer chains.
3. Nylon was intended to be a synthetic replacement for silk and substituted for it in moany different products after silk became scarce during World War ll. It replaced silk in military applications such as parachutes and flak vests, and was used in many types of vehicle tires.
Nylon fibres are used in many applications, including fabrics, bridal veils, carpets, musical strings, and rope.

Jacob Miller: Coir

1. Where it is produced- it is mainly made in India, specially the coastal region of Kerala State. Here over 60% of the worlds supply of coir is produced.
2. Uses for coir include doormats, brushes, mattresses, floor tiles, sacking, and twine.
3. Coir is used to prevent erosion and sedimentation control. It is also very versatile in the agricultural and horticultural (industry dealing with cultivation) industries. Coir is also very resistant to salt water so it makes a good rope for boat crews.

Derek C.: Quinoa

1.It is grown in south america.
2.Its leafs are eaten for leaf vegetable it is used to make white rise like we eat in America
3.It is a member of the grass family.It is also closely related to species such as the beets, spinach and tumbleweeds

Autumn Hasty: Silk

1.China, India, Uzbekistan, Brazil, Iran, Thailand, Vietnam, Korea, Romania, and Japan
2.Clothing such as shirts, ties, blouses, formal dresses, high fashion clothes, lingerie, pajamas, robes, dress suits, sun dresses and kimonos. Silks attractive luster and drape makes it nice for furnishing. It is used for wall coverings, window treatments, rugs, bedding, and wall hangings.

Drew B.: Sisal

1. Sisal is grow in Florida, Caribbean Islands, Brazil, Africa, Tanzania, Kenya, and Asia.
2. Sisal is made into twine because of its strength, durability, and ability to stretch. It is made in dartboards, buffing cloth, filters, mattresses, carpets, asbestos, and in fiberglass. It is also made in spa products, cat scratching posts, lumbar support belts, rugs, slippers, cloths, and disc buffers.
3. 240 thousand tones made a year. Most of it comes from Brazil which produced 113,000 tones. Sisal is one of the worlds most important natural resources.

Marissa M.: Bamboo

1. Bamboo is grown in all different climates including East Asia through northern Australia, and west to India. Also bamboo is grown in north and South America.
2. There are such things as bamboo bicycles. Bamboo is used in Chinese medicine for treating infections and healing.
It is a low-calorie potassium. It is known for its sweet taste and as a good source of nutrients and protein.
3.The bamboo is a major food source for pandas, rats, chimps, and elephants. Bamboo is used to hold up bridges. It is also used to make houses, clothing, and many different decorations.

Alexis Kinnan: Fiber or Jute

1. Jute is grown mainly in India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Sudan, and Nepal.
2. Jute is used to make a wide variety of things such as: wall hangings, cushion covers, rugs, jackets, canvas, and webbing. All of these crafts are mostly made in middle east countries

Potato Lab

First, we gather these following materials: weight scale, two plastic beakers, one glass beaker, two slices of potatoes, corn starch, iodine, two strings, and a sausage wrapper thingy. Next, we weigh the potatoes slices, the sausage wrap filled with iodine, and all of the beakers. After that we follow the procedures to the lab experiment and put the potatoes away and wait for the next day.
We come in and describe what had happened to the potatoes and s
ausage on paper. We discuss and try to understand why the things that happened happened.
